A late 30s woman in a Little Black Dress( LBD) and brunette hair looks at the viewer as if viewing herself. She is going to a New Year’s Eve celebration with friends, so she has a full face of makeup and jewelry. In the background is a staggered gradation of four variations of ultramarine blue, mixed with (from outside) burnt umber, tube pure, phthalo blue, magenta, and turquoise, with the Same and White.
